Watch the First Trailer for the Wachowskis’ ‘Jupiter Ascending’ (VIDEO)

The first trailer for the Wachowski’s “Jupiter Ascending” arrived Monday and it looks every bit as extraordinary as you thought it would.

Starring Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis, the Warner Bros. sci-fi tentpole tells the story of a young destitute human woman who is targeted for assassination by the Queen of the Universe because her very existence threatens to end the Queen’s reign. Tatum plays an elf-like hero who attempts to thwart her death.

Sean Bean and Eddie Redmayne co-star in “Jupiter Ascending,” which arrives July 25.

Village Roadshow co-financed and produced the film, shot this past year in London.

I like the visuals, have been impressed by Kunis in a few things and actually thought Cloud Atlas was pretty good. I’m somewhat concerned about the story here, though, and am pretty tired of the “you are the one, our only hope” storyline but maybe this doesn’t go that far. I’m cautiously optimistic and pretty sure I will enjoy it visually, though I hope all the money that went into this isn’t wasted on a dumb story.

I agree with you Kenneth. It does. The story looks cliched and the casting I think is just plain wrong! Kunis in this!!!!??? I think the W brothers need to really pick their projects better. They are very talented but…..
